Back off the vent

Jackson was extubated at 4:30 Sunday afternoon and is doing well. They have him on 2 liters via nasal cannula just to let him rest as much as possible for right now and will slowly wean it back to 1/2 a liter over the next day or so. Jackson's swelling is gradually getting better. The doctors removed Jackson's epidural shortly before he was extubated and he is now just on morphine to control the pain. Jackson tried to play (pull mommy and daddy's hair, hit at the mylar balloon that Rosalind brought him) a couple of times today when he wasn't hurting too bad. They will probably start his feeds again tomorrow morning and I know this will help him feel better as he must be starving as he has not had any food since 7:30 pm on Thursday night just IV fluids. Please keep those prayers coming they do work wonders.

Love,
Adam, Kimberly, and Jackson

I am so sorry that you all are having to deal with this all over again. Jackson will continue to be in my prayers.
